Abstract

Recently, cyber security is recognized as the fifth space after land, sea, air, and space, and is recognized as very important in terms of national security. Major foreign countries recognize the acquisition of cyber experts as an important task for cyber security, and are establishing and operating comprehensive national policies. China is concentrating on recruiting talent by building cyber education and infrastructure through active national financial investment to foster hackers. The United States is trying to secure professional manpower early by operating a cyber talent development program through the National Security Agency (NSA)'s 'NICE' program targeting teenagers from the 6th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of high school. North Korea is also training operatives to carry out cyber information warfare through intensive education from elementary school under the leadership of the state. Compared to the demand for manpower, Korea's cyber expert training is focused on cyber professional training at higher educational institutions, higher than universities. It is difficult to secure talented people early. In addition, it is expected that in the future, it will be more difficult to secure human resources due to the decrease in the school age population. To this end, it is necessary to focus nationally on acquiring cyber experts through the enactment of the 「Cyber ​​Security Act」. Currently, the 「National Cyber ​​Security Management Regulations」 and the 「Cyber ​​Security Business Regulations」, which are cyber security laws, have many limitations. The 「National Cyber ​​Security Management Regulations」 cannot regulate the private sector as a presidential order. It is difficult to come up with measures to secure practical cyber experts because only job competency improvement training for incumbents in the 「Cyber ​​Security Business Regulations」 is reflected. Therefore, the enactment of the 「Cyber ​​Security Act」 needs to be enacted as a basic law of cyber security in order to secure comprehensive and systematic cyber experts. In addition, specialized cyber education programs are operated at science high schools and gifted schools, which are secondary educational institutions, while cyber professional education is currently concentrated in higher education institutions above universities. It is necessary to establish a policy that can eventually foster advanced cyber manpower through an education system that is connected to higher education institutions (universities and graduate schools) in the future.
